Yes. Theyre called trams, or trollies.

It does not matter morally, but does rhetorically and politically

I live in Wisconsin. We have fine cheeses, I dont need it to have actual maggots in it.

This only works if a new centralized network doesnt take its place, Blueskys existence kinda proves thats not always the case
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
Heres the thing with federation
It will always be more complicated, and lead to smaller segregated communities. This mitigstes the network effect social media services rely on

He could, but traditionally the court is suppoaed to have seven Justices. He respects that did not want to be seen as trying to stack it. Unfortunately Republicans have no intention of giving the slightest fuck, were already stacking the court, and will likely continue doing so. If you ask me, I think Biden shouldve stacked it
- Comment on US Democracy 1 month ago:
Because you have to consider all the court appointments he made, including the supreme court that he stacked. If the Biden admin did any more, itd just get struck down. The court can basically nullify any law or executive order they want without repercussion. Im frankly shocked he got away with as much as he did

Cool, were im the minority, and if libs and progressives cant learn to swallow down each others candidates, the american left in general is cooked

There is no lesson to human. Humanity itself is fascist. We are the problem

Add the Heritage Society and most social media to that list

Frankly, that just shows hollywood is overhated and voters are stupid

Maybe care about things. Voting against him should’ve been enough to elect a ham sandwhich
- Comment on US Democracy 1 month ago:
Yes. That is their argument. Because most men of alll races, and even most white women favored him. He got less votes than 2020, and won the popular, got a trifecta.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 month ago:
Don’t like those ads? Should’ve stopped proving them right. We will go to the grave blaming you and your ilk now
- Comment on US Democracy 1 month ago:
Thank you for saying it. The voter is the fucking problem. Anyone with half a brain realizes this. Gaza, egg prices, and the candidate not having a dick was enough to the traitor rapist felon to get a trifecta. That’s not a campaign problem. Maybe Harris didn’t run a perfect campaign, but that’s clearly not the issue here

And yet people default to those systems and have since the agricultural revolution.
As for plant stimuli, who are you to say that doesn’t constitute pain. They sure communicate it to those around them, cut grass smell and all that. Does an ant not feel pain because it mostly just responds to pheromones? Bit of a “my red is your blue” argument you’re making.
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
Pretty much, yeah. And I’m not convinced by your news article either as the study described relies on the reporting of pet-owners. Vegan cat owners forcing such a diet on their pet aren’t exactly people I trust to be 100% honest about the wellness of said cat.

Convincing people to be ethical past the point of inconvenience requires insincerity, yes. The average person is a horrible human being
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
If belligerent internet comments actually convinced you to change your diet in such an inconvenient manner for no reward but moral superiority, you are not like the people you’re trying to convince. Abusers and cults love bomb because its more effective on a random sample of people
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
Two things. First, the fact most people arent hunting the animals thenselves really isnt shocking. Human society thrives on specialization. We dont farm or forage our own veggies either, we dont engineer our own cars, we dont construct our own houses. Thats kinda just how civilization works. Its not uniquely symptomatic of “carnists”.
Secondly, you severely underestimate people. Primitive tribes, even if they were less effective at securing large amounts of meat, still hunted without any moral compunctions about the matter. Evolution is a slow thing, people who did that were just like us in any way that matters. Its not unreasonable to assume most people would adjust if you strip away the automation of society. Desperate people resort to cannibalism for goodness sake, I wouldnt put hunting past them.

I think I will actually do this now just to prove you wrong
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
Lmfao. You gonna be vegan Stalin or something?
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
And this is why its impossible to have a conversation with yall. Even if you believe this, if you are hostile to outsiders, you just guarantee theyll want to do it more. Cult deprogrammers have to be real nice and mostly just listen for a reason
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 3 months ago:
We really dont though. It is simply not realistic to fight for an ethic that requires the overwhelming majority to be hyperrational in their ethics. Human nature tends toward cruelty, and Ive yet to see a vegan have recourse for that.
Setting aside the whole plants feel pain too bit

Because it is

Speak for yourself
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Theres several reasons
Part of it is good old fashioned bigotry
A big part of it is the systemic advantage the Electoral College gives Republicans
And of course there’s the matter that Traitor Trump voters don’t have standards while the rest of us do
